WALLINGFORD — A group of Wallingford residents is suing the town and its Public Works Director over his decision to remove 29 pear trees along North Main Street.

The New Haven Register reports the lawsuit comes a little more than a week after Henry McCully held a public hearing to detail his plans to remove the trees. McCully says they have grown too big to remain in their street-side spaces.
